Zaluzhnyi highlighted the pause in US cyber operations and its opposition to a UN resolution condemning Russian aggression as significant challenges for global stability.

European leaders reiterated their commitment to support Ukraine and increase defense spending to confront Russian aggression, underscoring the importance of US support.

In response to shifting US policies under Trump, European Union leaders convened an emergency summit on March 6, 2025, to bolster military defenses and ensure ongoing support for Ukraine.

The shift in US policy under Trump has raised concerns about European security, prompting a reassessment of defense strategies within the EU.

Concerns have escalated in Kyiv as the US recently halted military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, raising fears of a shift in US policy that may favor Russia.

Trump's administration justified the aid pause as a strategy to encourage Ukraine to engage in US-led peace talks, a move welcomed by the Kremlin but alarming for Ukraine.

Zaluzhnyi emphasized the need for Ukraine to receive security guarantees and to avoid being used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Russia.

Ukraine's ambassador to the UK, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, has accused the US of undermining the current world order, particularly following a contentious meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and former President Donald Trump.

He warned that the changing stance of the US on security issues in Europe could threaten the future of NATO, suggesting it might cease to exist.

Zaluzhnyi's criticism of US actions comes amid improving relations between Zelensky and Trump, despite previous disagreements.

On March 4, 2025, Trump indicated that tensions might be easing, citing a letter from Zelensky expressing readiness to sign a peace deal.

Despite his popularity and potential as a challenger to Zelensky in future elections, Zaluzhnyi has not announced intentions to run for office, as elections are currently suspended due to martial law.
